All the News That's Fit to Print

Which, isn't much.

Work is okay but about to get crazy busy.

Thanksgiving looks like it might be a good one.

No snow in Tahoe so far (well, some higher up but nothing to note) so might not be a white Christmas.

My niece is living with me in the bay area which has been good so far.

I found out that I'm not actually half-Irish, I'm really 1/4 Irish and 1/4 German-English-Irish-Scottish-Welsh-Etc.-Etc.-Etc. and that the spelling of my last name was changed from the German version to its current version a few generations ago. I kinda miss being a half-breed. I liked it. Now I'm a mutt.

But, I'm a mutt who is eligle for the DAR. Apparently the German-English-Irish-Scottish-Welsh-Etc.-Etc.-Etc. side of the family had three ancestors who fought in the American Revolution. We're already confirmed and prequalified, if we want to join.

That's about it for now.
